Is the security suite any good? ETrust has some relationship to M$. I don't even trust companies that get along with M$.

Sorry, but WTF!? It's like saying i wouldn't trust Agip because they have some relation with Mercedes Benz.
All relation they have with CA is that CA's software is protecting MS's gateways, servers and stuff. But since it's MS, everyone is making a big deal...

I haven't been a fan of CA products for a long time (and I even have a friend who's a programmer for them) ..but last fall I went to an SMB Nation tour that Microsoft was doing, did the one at Microsoft building in NYC. Some CA reps were there and demonstrating their new business products. Quite a powerful admin utility for this product.

Ghost for Win32 in a booted environment is the best solution IMO.
I keep one image per month on a seperte HDD, my utilization is through Windows PE but you can run it from DOS boot disks.
I restore a 40GB partition in about 3 minutes, piece of cake.

I have heard from numerous sources CA's admin utilities are a trump, but I fail to find myself ever utilizing them.

I've used Acronis MigrateEasy for years (hundreds of clones) without a single problem. I won't touch ghost or ATI. I haven't found a complete backup (OS & everything) solution to storage other than HDD to HDD that is 100% reliable. And for me AME is 100%.
